I figured! You are using an incorrect expression for acceleration which is valid for classical cases only. That is, a = v*v/x These pages from Hartle's book Gravity will help. See example 5.6, equation 5.52 and whats written after it. You'll get the answer. Just use a = gamma * v*v/ c*c to get the correct answer. ![enter image description here][1] ![enter image description here][2] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/EuVJj.jpg [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/VuKbx.jpg
